Fantasy is an action/adventure arcade game developed by Shin Nihon Kikaku and released in October 1981. It was licensed to Rock-Ola[2] for North American release in February 1982. The game is controlled with a single joystick and no buttons.[3] The music is a rendition of "Funkytown".[4] According to the book Gamers: Writers, Artists & Programmers on the Pleasures of Pixels, this is the first arcade video game to have a continuation feature.[5]

The game runs on the SNK 6502 arcade system board,[6] also known as the SNK Rockola hardware.[7] Other games that ran on the same hardware include Sasuke vs. Commander (1980), Zarzon (1981) and Vanguard (1981).[6][7]
